LET TM CITIZENS MEET, The idea in our government is that the people shall rule, and when this idea is carried out there is good gov¬ ernment. But l»y lupiiieitesa and indifference in too many communities, the peo pie refuse to take an interest in pub lie affairs, fail to turn out to the polls or the primaries, and allow a faction to control tnattera; then mis¬ rule or ni's***n*gement almost inevil bly follows. It has been a long time since the citizens of Griffin have really bad a voice in the affairs of the city, have nominated themselves dominated the political arena better or more acceptable men back, and while there might be choice between two opposing no man could truly say that was the real choice of the people. result has been that in many we have not bad a represen ta council or an administration heeded the wishes or the ipter of those who elected them. The fault of this lies with the citi themselves. As long as they to say who should be their anybody bad a perfect to run, on any platform or cn platform, and shape affairs to suit If his way of shaping things not suit others, it was too lAte kick after the election. But the remedy also lies in the own hands, and now is the to apply it. Let them meet en- a clique, or faction, er interests—but everybody, of gradea and opinions, resolved to according to their unbiased oon of the best interests of the Let every man in the meeting pledge himself to abide by its action and then let a platform be formulated and a new ticket be named, unem¬ barrassed by any candidates now in the field—all after a free discussion and according to methods to be named by the meeting itself. Such a ticket would receive the hearty and united support of both news papers against any opposition; and the leaders on each of the tickets al¬ ready in the field bate said that such a consummation would be accept¬ able. The time is ripe, and only laggard or half-hearted plucking can hinder the harvesting of good frait. We have stood our own negligence long enough, and the progress and wel fare of the city demand that its af fairs receive our attention. A change is recognized by many as necessary, and if it is not made now matters wil naturally grow worse rather than bet^ ter. The revenues of the city are be ing spent and we see no benefit from them. Six thousand dollars a year are paid out for lights and streets and police protection, but how much do we get of any of these! Let every citizen honestly answer for himself, and if a majority are satisfied, then let the present administration be sus tained and let us have another just like it. We shall then have nothing to say against it; but we would like to know how the people stand. A call will be circulated tomorrow for a public meeting to consider the situation. There is no reason why any oue should refuse to sign it, and we urge that every one to whom it is presented not only 6igo but pledge himself to attend the meeting when held.

Editor News.— I notice a short arti cl* in your paper and also one in tbe 8uu condemning the authorities, or rath th* city government, for all th# "trou bles which our tittle city of six thousand inhabitents have b?en afflicted with r ceurly. While you are right to a certain ex j tent. I think you are wrong in making the assertion to go abroad to the world that we aro aa a community or city worse thau others. You may take the statistic* of Griffin and compare it with any other city of he same population and you will And it is iesa in debt, less taxed and crime been committed and more as a community of whole than any place of the same size the State. While onr city fathers have not done they oould, perhaps, to advance the j of Griffin, we have some good there, and ahould not blame them j While you condemn you do u t offer i remedy. If you will pardon me, I suggest one. As you know, we are the eve of a municipal election.
